## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23)THE PILOT, ^PRIVACY DATA^, STATED HE WAS 12 MILES WEST OF OGDEN, UT, WHEN HIS AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE. HE MADE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING ON A DIRT ROAD.  THE MECHANIC THAT EXAMINED AND REPAIRED THE AIRCRAFT, SAID HE FOUND A SMALL BOLT IN THE #1 CYLINDER.  HE FURTHER STATED HE COULD NOT FIND ANY MISSING BOLTS AROUND THE ENGINE, AND THAT HE FELT SOMEONE HAD SABOTAGED THE AIRCRAFT BY PLACING THE BOLT IN THE ENGINE INTAKE.  THE PILOT STATED HE DID NOT FEEL THAT SABOTAGE WAS  THE CAUSE, AND HE FURTHER STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAD UNDERGONE AN ANNUAL INSPECTION 2.5 FLIGHT HOURS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT.  THE MECHANIC THAT EXAMINED THE AIRCRAFT AND FOUND THE BOLT WAS THE SAME MECHANIC THAT PERFORMED THE ANNUAL INSPECTION.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
